Jay Leno Reveals He Has a “Brand-New Ear” After Car Fire

It hasn’t been the easiest time for Jay Leno.

The comedian recently reflected on the two accidents he had over the course of two months. 

“This [is] an all-new face,” he told Dana Carvey and David Spade on the March 29 episode of their podcast Fly on the Wall. “I did it in eight days. I missed two shows. 

The most recent accident was in January when Leno got knocked off his motorcycle. “I got a broken collarbone, I got two busted ribs, and I got two cracked kneecaps,” he recalled, “’cause I got clotheslined on my motorcycle.”

The Tonight Show alum then detailed what happened.

“You’re a 72-year-old guy and an 83-year-old motorcycle. What could go wrong?” he joked. “I said, ‘Uh oh. It’s dripping gas. I don’t want to catch fire. Lemme turn around.’ I turn around in a parking lot and the guy had a wire across a parking lot but with no flag. And the sun was right here. And boom it just hit me.”
